Change...

So I have officially been changed out of Quetzalcoatl. I was very sad for a couple of days. It is definitely my favorite area in the mission, and it probably will stay that way.
But that is in the past! Now I'm in the actual city of Puebla, the first time in my whole mission. I'm in the Mayorazgo Zone, in a ward called 16 de septiempre. I'm still a district leader, and my district is almost half sisters! We're 6 elders and 4 sisters. Its crazy how many sisters are arriving to the mission. Another cool thing is that I have the Zone leaders in my district, and my dad Elder Betts is one of the Zone Leaders! He goes home this change, so I'll be here with him when he does! That was a happy announcement in the changes meeting:)
My companions name is Elder Contreras. Hes sweet. He's from Ecuador, hes obedient, and he works really hard! We are opening this area, so we've been walking around a little lost all week ha. But we did already find a new investigator, and he has a baptismal date:) and we hope to find a lot more this week!
On Saturday I went back to Quetzalcoatl for the baptism of the young lady we were teaching named Catalina:) We had a couple almost disasters happen, but in the end it all went well:) I will attach pictures of the baptism and some others from Quetzalcoatl also!
Today we played soccer with the whole zone (minus the sisters, they say we're to aggressive). It was cool, the zone here seems really cool. We call it the Arizona zone because there's like 5 of us from Arizona ha.
I love you guys! And I hope you have great weeks! 
 
 
 
Bye,
Elder Wilson

General Conference!

Conference weekend was amazing! I really heard some amazing things. I definitely felt like there was some talks given specifically to me. My favorite talks were both by president uchtdorf, elder hollands, and elder Bednars. What did you guys think? Write me and tell me what your favorite talks were! and if you didn't get a chance to watch it, well, watch it at lds.org and then write me and tell me! These conference talks truly are scripture for our day, if we follow there council we will be able to overcome the difficulties and trials of these last days. President Monson, his counselors, and the quorum of the twelve apostles are the lords chosen prophets, seers, and revelators, and the messages they share are exactly what the lord needs and wants us to hear in these Latter-days.
 
I will be short this week. I just want to invite you all to watch, read, and study general conference. If you do so with a sincere heart, and ask your heavenly father to know if theses messages are true, you will feel an ever more abundant peace in your life, and you will know for a fact that your father in heaven loves you.
